Major League Lacrosse: Bayhawks Add Tony Resch To Coaching Staff

Sources confirmed to Inside Lacrosse Friday night that the Chesapeake Bayhawks have hired Tony Resch as an assistant coach. The two-time MLL champion head coach with the Barrage (2006-07) joins head coach Dave Cottle and GM Brian Reese on the Bayhawks staff.

Resch last coached in the MLL in 2008, after leading the Philadelphia Barrage to back-to-back Steinfeld trophies. He also led the NLL's Philadelphia Wings to four championships as head coach from 1994-2001, after winning two titles as a Wings player. The NLL Hall of Famer won a gold medal as a U.S. Team player in 1990, and as an assistant coach in 2010 in England. He was a two-time All-American player at Yale in the 1980s.

The Bayhawks went 6-6 last year during the regular season, before losing their first-round MLL playoff game in Annapolis. They won the 2010 Steinfeld Cup.
